Our first major stop was to Iringa. This is where we spent most of our time visiting. This is the home of the Lutheran Center where we stayed.
We visited the Lutheran Diocese for Iringa. and some of the photos are of that wonderful organization doing God's work in the area.
One of their projects is growing trees. The saplings will be sent to each of the communities in the diocese.
We took numerous trips to the German Marketplace, built in 1896 by the German colonizers, it is the oldest marketplace in Africa built by the Germans. Most folks don't own their own car so they get around using motorcycles as a form of an Uber as well as via a bajaj which is a three-wheeled motorcycle taxi.
They are everywhere. And, as a former British colony, they drive on the left side of the road. Glad I wasn't driving but I did have look the "wrong" way when stepping off of the sideway to cross the street.
We then visited the Isimila Stone Age Site (where tools as old as 200,000 old were discovered) and had beautiful views. That hike was not for the faint of heart through, given the terrain. But it was worth the hike.
That evening we went to a resturant on one of the hills surrounding Iringa, watched the sunset, and ate dinner.
